In browsing the repos <https://github.com/boost-lib> I notice that some changes/actions have real users attached to them. While others just have the "modbot" user. Is there a procedure for matching new users to old users?
Yes, there will be. However
Along the same line of questioning.. Is there a procedure for getting users added to the members of the "boost-lib" organization(user)?
Now you can make administrative requests at https://github.com/boost-lib/admin/issues
Setting this up is a little clumsy, but what I did was to make a team called "admin" and a repo called "admin" under the boost-lib organization, and assigned the repo to the team. The team (right now, and totally subject to adjustment) is Daniel Pfeifer, Beman Dawes, Eric Niebler, and me. We're also on the special "owners" team for the boost-lib org. According to GitHub docs, the team will receive email for every issue opened on that tracker.
Ah! I wasn't aware of that! I've added a simple doc page, https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ModAdmin, using your response. If the procedure changes or is replaced, please update accordingly. Should library maintainers start requesting write permission now, or wait until there is an official announcement on the mailing list? Thanks, --Beman
